Somewhere between the mom helmet and the blue fauxhawk lies the perfet haircut: edgy enough but not over the top.

Where to find this elusive quarry? The Italian Market.

This historic neighborhood is now home to Laurentius Purnama's new three-story, glass enclosed, totally modern salon that opens today.

Purnama's credentials speak for themselves: He's done a variety of editorial work, cut the locks of Maggie Gyllenhaal and worked at Garren New York. Now he's settled in his own salon with the goal of making Philadelphia beautiful, one head at time, offering a mix of traditional cuts, cutting-edge looks, and everything in between.
